Many parents like to leave a light on when their children are sleeping. At night, with the lights on, children can see clearly when they get up and go to the bathroom, without worrying about falling. Parents can also observe and understand their children's sleeping conditions at any time to prevent catching a cold. So, is it good for children to turn on the lights and sleep at night?
It's not good for children to sleep with lights on at night, even though it's convenient to take care of them. However, turning on the lights and sleeping at night can have an impact and harm on children. The specific impact is manifested in: firstly, when children sleep with lights on at night, the secretion of melatonin will be stimulated by the light, thereby reducing secretion, leading to a decrease in children's immunity and an increased probability of getting sick.
Secondly, turning on the lights to sleep at night can harm children's eyesight. Especially for children whose vision is in a critical period of development, good lighting determines the key to their visual development. Sleeping with the light on, children's eyes cannot fully relax, especially the muscles and nerves in the eye area will be in a tense state, which will affect their vision over time.
Finally, sleeping with the lights on at night can affect the quality of a child's sleep. Because the stimulation of lighting can make children's emotions restless, thereby affecting the duration or depth of sleep. It can be said that children who sleep with lights on are prone to waking up easily and not sleeping soundly. It is recommended that children do not turn on the lights when sleeping at night.
